The Visalia Planning Commission last night approved a new development on the city's eastern fringe that calls for a hotel, strip mall and other commercial services. Following a 5-to-1 vote by the planning commission, the Chandi Group Retail Center will begin cropping up on a 12-acre grass field near the southeast corner of Lovers Lane and Noble Avenue. The development, proposed by Los Angeles-based developer Chandi Group USA and planned by 4Creeks of Visalia, will be anchored by a four-story, 120-room hotel and a 46,600 square-foot strip mall. Other plans include a 15,000 square-foot drug store, a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru, an Arco/AMPM gas station and a market. Spanning 106,400 square feet of building space, the development consists of six commercial parcels to be developed in four phases. 4Creeks is also planning the Square at Plaza Drive in Visalia to be to be built on a 25-acre field just north of Plaza Drive off of Highway 198. The project calls for a 65-room hotel, two sit-down restaurants and a combination gas station and convenience store, along with a center court area bordered by three-story buildings with retail shops, office space and residential suites. Sited just east of the Lampe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership, the development would feature about 265,000 square-feet of structures to be built out over five to 10 years. That project is waiting on a public hearing to be scheduled before the Visalia Planning Commission.
